Re: game industry... questions
1) I was an Architect, worked on mods etc. Actually, I don't think it's that hard to find an industry job...the hard work is all in getting good enough to be hired.

Re: Environment art - A foot in the door?
In my experience , the reason there is always seemingly more environment art jobs out there is studios tend to keep strong 2-4 person character teams on staff, which leads to very few character jobs popping up. Environment teams on a AAA title are usually anywhere from 10-20 artists depending on the size of the world being… -

Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
"It seems like a great alternative" Well, except in many cases it just isn't, even if it was implemented in games.
